- This adventure will not occur unless you are wearing the Knob Goblin Harem Girl Disguise and are under the effect of Knob Goblin perfume, or if you are wearing the Knob Goblin Elite Guard Uniform with a knob cake in your inventory.
- Once you have defeated the King, this adventure will no longer reoccur (it becomes a one time adventure).
- If you enter the King's Chamber while wearing the Knob Goblin Elite Guard Uniform and carrying a knob cake, the fight text changes to:
- You walk into the Goblin King's throne room. He barely glances at you as you hand him the cake, and buries his piggy little face into it.
- "Wait a minute. . ." he says. "This isn't red velvet! This is blue suede! I'll have to report you to your superior officer for this, right after I flog you senseless!"
- You doff your helmet for a second so the King can have a look at your face. "Actually, I'm not one of your guards. I'm the adventurer who's going to beat you up and steal your crown."
- "But that's not fair!" the King splutters.

References
- The attack where the Goblin King throws his crown at you could be a reference to a similar attack used by King K. Rool, the final boss in both Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Land.
- The attack where the Goblin King turns into an owl is a reference to the movie Labyrinth, where the goblin king Jareth (played by David Bowie) appears in owl form. The owl delivering mail is a reference to the Harry Potter series of novels, written by J. K. Rowling.
- The glass ball attack is yet another nod to the movie Labyrinth, in which the goblin king Jareth (David Bowie) appears to manipulate glass spheres.
- The fumble message references the fact that David Bowie did not do his own contact juggling in Labyrinth. Michael Moschen, a professional juggler and Labyrinth choreographer, was an 'arm double' for the juggling scenes; he did many of the scenes without being able to see his hands, as he was hiding from the camera behind Bowie.
- The cake choice and colors for the guard uniform intro text might be referencing the movie Blue Velvet.
- "You say that so often . . . I wonder what your basis for comparison is" and "do as I say and I will be your slave" are lines spoken by Jareth in Labyrinth.
